“…10 The high proportion of uncontrolled asthmatic patients increases its burden, which can be mitigated by proper management including follow up and effective education, measures that basically can occur in the primary healthcare settings including community pharmacies. 11 Pharmacists can play a significant role in the management of chronic diseases including asthma. 12 Due to their clinical expertise, pharmacists are well-equipped to educate asthmatic patients about their medical condition, explain the functionality of asthma medications, demonstrate correct inhalation techniques, address any concerns regarding potential side effects, and promote adherence to prescribed therapies.…”

Purpose To investigate knowledge, attitude, and practice of asthma management counseling and the perceived barriers by community pharmacists. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 416 community pharmacists using an online-based questionnaire. The questionnaire included five parts that assessed socio-demographics and medical references used to seek drug-related information, pharmacists’ knowledge (7 items), attitudes (5 items), practice (22 items) and the barriers for the provision of asthma management counseling (10 items). Binary logistic regression was conducted to find the variables that were significantly and independently associated with knowledge, attitude and asthma management counseling practice. Results Increased years of experience was associated with decreased knowledge (OR = 0.918, 95% Cl (0.869:0.970), P = 0.002) and less positive attitude toward asthma management (OR = 0.876, 95% Cl. (0.821:0.935), P < 0.001), while working in independent community pharmacy (OR = 2.097, 95% Cl. (1.273:3.454), P = 0.004) and increased awareness of asthma management guidelines (OR = 1.60, 95% CI. (1.044:2.453), P = 0.031) increased the odds of being in the high knowledge group. In contrast, increasing the daily number of pharmacy visitors OR = 1.009, 95% Cl. (1.001:1.016), P = 0.024) and having a pharmacy degree (OR = 2.330, 95% Cl. (1.256:4.326), P = 0.007) increased the odds of having a positive attitude. Male pharmacists (OR = 0.553, 95% Cl. (0.350:0.873), P = 0.011) and having bachelor in pharmacy (OR = 0.354, 95% Cl. (0.179:0.700), P = 0.003) decreased the odds of being in the high practice group. On the other hand, increased awareness of asthma management guidelines tripled the odds of being in the high practice group (OR = 3.067, 95% Cl. (1.964:4.787), P < 0.001). Conclusion The current study findings offer valuable insights into the gaps in knowledge, attitude, and practice of asthma management counseling among community pharmacists, as well as the barriers and factors that impede the provision of these services. These insights serve as a guide for developing future strategies aimed at enhancing the role of pharmacists in asthma care.

Background: Chronic diseases, particularly non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Effective management of these conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), requires a multidisciplinary approach, including the integration of clinical pharmacists into patient care teams. Methods: This review analyzed literature from seven databases, including MEDLINE and EMBASE, focusing on pharmacist interventions in the management of chronic diseases, specifically type 2 diabetes and asthma, to assess their applicability to IBD. Studies published between 2014 and 2023 were included to evaluate the impact of pharmacist-led initiatives on clinical outcomes. Results: The findings reveal that pharmacist interventions significantly improve patient outcomes in chronic disease management through medication management, patient education, and regular monitoring. While type 2 diabetes and asthma management strategies have been well-documented, there is a notable gap in research regarding pharmacist involvement in IBD care. Proposed interventions for IBD include medication adherence support, risk assessment, and preventive health services, which have demonstrated effectiveness in other chronic conditions. Conclusion: The integration of clinical pharmacists into the management of inflammatory bowel disease presents a valuable opportunity to enhance patient care.
